Wagas Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Would you say 5.6mx5.6m internal dimensions of a double garage is a bit snug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) I recommend parking your car somewhere so that there is a wall next to the passenger side. Don't try for super close just comfortable. Get out and push a tape under the car until it reaches the wall. Open drivers door as far as needed to get in/out easily. See where the end of the door comes to. We were surprised and ended up adding a meter to our garage. Back of the envelope based on a Ford Focus …. Car is about 1850mm wide. You need at least say 150mm on passenger side and around 600-700mm on driver side to get in/out reasonably easily making 2.6-2.7m. Double it to give 5.2-5.4. So at 5.6m wide there would be no room for a bike down the side or something like a ladder on the passenger side wall? So yes I agree with ProDave that 3m per car is a reasonable minimum width. A focus is also 4.7m long so the space left might effect the type of garage door you have. Edited August 4, 2019 by Temp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
